I have had severe hip joint pain from ankylosing spondylitis for the past six years.

Asked by Male, 58 · 2 months ago

Severe hip joint pain for many years due to ankylosing spondylitis suggests active or advanced disease and needs regular specialist care. Along with daily stretching and physiotherapy, you may need stronger anti-inflammatory medicines or injections to control inflammation and prevent further joint damage. Do not ignore persistent pain; consult a rheumatologist, as early and proper treatment can reduce pain, improve movement, and protect your joints in the long term.
